Reviews

In moments of big crises and diminished well-being across the globe, this original contribution on tourism, hope and happiness could not have been more timely! The volume will have a global appeal to researchers, practitioners, students and educators with a more positive mindset, interested in a better tourism world. * Sebastian Filep, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong * This thoughtful text is a fitting tribute to the legacy and ethos of the late Professor T.V. Singh and his co-editors Professors David Fennell and Richard Butler. The geographical, theoretical and methodological diversity of the contributions is impressive and showcases positive tourism as a force for good in challenging times. * Jennifer Frost, La Trobe University, Australia *
